DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Signs you need glazing silicone in Upper Dicker
Sunlight breaks sealant down and roof joints get the most sun. Old silicone hardens, cracks and loses its grip on the glass.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Water getting into a conservatory at the joints
- Shower screens leaking along the wall or tray
- Water running down inside the glass
- Mouldy sealant around glass panels
Homes close to Holy Trinity include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Upper Dicker, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- Old sealant is removed from the glass and frame.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- New glazing silicone goes in and is finished neatly.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Run a squeegee over the glass when you are done
- Check the gutters above the glazing for debris
- Use gentle products around the joints
Use mild cleaners on and around the silicone. Strong solvents can soften or mark it.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Peeling silicone lets water in behind and the leak gets worse.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower screens
Black or peeling silicone on a screen lets water out. A full reseal sorts it.
Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass and reseal with glazing silicone.

What else we do in Upper Dicker
Why deal with it now?
Replacing a conservatory roof is major work. If the leak is a failed sealant joint, resealing is far simpler. If the roof is the problem, we will say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Upper Dicker can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Upper Dicker homes and the weather
Historic houses like Michelham Priory (about 0.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Upper Dicker has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Bede's Prep School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty.

Common questions in Upper Dicker
Do you work for landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Dicker?
Yes. Upper Dicker is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can a conservatory leak be sealed?
That depends where the water is getting in. Failed glazing and frame joints can be resealed, but roof panels and structural problems need a conservatory specialist or roofer.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Do you fit new glass or sealed units?
That’s not something we do. Misting between panes means the sealed unit has failed, and a glazier needs to replace it.
